This presence of the Holy Ghost down here, as truly sent from above as the Son was '(though in a different manner, and consequent on the accomplishment and establishment before God of divine righteousness by Jesus Christ), is the key and center of all that belongs to the christian state. Righteousness has been established before God in heaven, and perfect love shown to the sinner on earth. Christ has made good both perfect love on God's part towards man in his sins (for God so loved, that He spared not His Son), and perfect righteousness for faith before God (for Christ is our righteousness before God). Of this the Holy Ghost is witness in the gospel (being sent down because Jesus is on high) in the whole creation under heaven. 428
